Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ADP

  • No pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken
  • Split into three separate products by company size, RUN for 1 to 49 employees, Workforce Now for 50 and above, and Lyric HCM for enterprise, so growing across a threshold means changing product rather than plan

Clari

  • Limited customization; built for specific use cases and cannot make predictions outside core objects
  • Requires extensive manual data inputs; depends on spreadsheet-based consolidation creating data gaps and inaccurate predictions
  • English-only with no multilingual support for global teams
  • High total cost of ownership including mandatory implementation services and expensive add-ons
  • Overlaps with other tools; if already using Gong or Outreach, Clari duplicates conversation intelligence and engagement features
